So, so sad. According to Reuters and Digital Daily, Apple has confirmed to that the white version of the iPhone 4 is still a far ways off. The official quote?

We’re sorry to disappoint customers waiting for the white iPhone yet again, but we’ve decided to delay its release until this Spring.

We’re not sure what to make of it. We previously heard from a senior Apple source that Apple’s fixed the white iPhone manufacturing issues about a month ago. Does this mean they are timing it with the mythical Verizon iPhone? If not, and it does come out in the Spring, why release a white version at all at that point?

i start to believe it will never see the light
3 months later will be announced the iPhone 5, so who’s going to care about the iPhone 4 anymore?

Brswa

The mass majority who doesn’t realize that Apple releases a new device every year.

HmmmNY

It took almost a year b4 the iPhone 4 dropped…. They won’t have another phone out by this summer buddy

drew

They have one every year in june july.. why wouldn’t they this year?

Hmmm

Because the before the iPhone 4, they just enhanced the 3Gs.. It was out technically for 2 years. That’s y I don’t they won’t. And whether you like Apple or not, theyre great at marketing and wouldnt drop the white phone with one coming out the next month.

I’m a contract lawyer in Manhattan and I consider my use of a quality phone important. I’m a smart buyer so I’ve waited for Verizon. I’m not going to hold out for a white Verzion even though I’d prefer it. I would venture a guess that the color of the button won’t exactly match the frame.

dave

what is 50 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?? A good start!!

MacMan

Here you go again who gives a f*ck about you being a lawyer ?

Sandy S. Schwartz.

I would say that qualifies me as very smart. Are you a hamburger flipper?

MacMan

Very smart ass.

HmmmNY

No it doesn’t… Just means your a good liar

theRealstevejobs

No, I would say it just qualifies you as a money grubbing jew bag. Smart lawyers don’t spend their time on BGR’s comment section. I hope you’re not charging the time you spent on this website to your clients.

Carmen

I would say that mentioning it means that you are pretentious. How does it matter when picking a phone? Perhaps you could argue that it means that you could put a smartphone to good use in a more meaningful way than the average person, but it doesn’t make you BETTER than anyone. Now, I realize that you didn’t explicitly say that you were better than anyone, but it kinda reads that way. The whole Manhattan thing is another giveaway. It’s irrelevant, unless, of course your purpose was to bring it up to explain why you would wait for Verizon because AT&T doesn’t have good 3G coverage in Manhattan. If it were, then there are better ways to bring it up than starting your post out with “I’m a contract lawyer in Manhattan”. Secondly, you can’t spell or punctuate for shit, you “very smart” lawyer.

dee

So being a smart buyer who needs a reliable phone, you choose a phone with a Dodgy antennae, geez I hope you dont represent me in court

MacMan

Nice to know we have criminals on bgr talking tech.

Sandy S. Schwartz.

Dee, I’ve got news for you … not all laywers spend their day in court. There are those of us that work in big skyscrapers and relegate court work to others.

Who is losing what contest? Also, who is supposed to suck “Apple, Jobs and the millions upon millions of iSheeple”? Wouldn’t you want to tell those things to blow you instead of themselves getting blown?

dee

So it gets released in spring,then 3 months later, another iPhone,

Drew

Zzzzzzzzzz…. Zzzzzz…

If you want a white iPhone, Colorware is a great investment…kinda. It’s just a color..let’s move on.

Mgl323

Might as well wait for the next generation iphone.

The Premium Thought Air Force

I need one to match my white 1990 Nissan Maxima SE.

dariuscuh

LOL

Zippy McMean

ITS A DAMN FLAB PHONE. GET OVER THE DAMN FLAB COLOR.

Brady

I just don’t understand A, why is it so hard to make a phone in a different color. B, why its even being delayed at this point and C, are there really this many people who are holding out for an iphone in white?

Moe

Because the manufacturer in china cannot get it right, Apple get what they paid for…

Cheap labor an substandard quality that can’t pass the OEM test.

If Apple would manufacture it in America it would be out by now.

gquaglia

I guess the itards care

Motoyo V. Nacional

Good looks using your retina display in the sun when the reflection off the white stings your eyes to the high heavens.

savvyray

nobody cares. If people wanted the iphone 4 bad enough, they got a black one when they knew white was going to be delayed. If they were holding out this long, then they have other problems.

NYCLady

I’ve been holding out because I want a white one. Why spend money on something you don’t really want.. And why would you have a problem with someone who has self control…odd

skyy_flyer

“Apple will most likely have another model out by June/July anyway.” < That will still have people buying them regardless of what they bought a few months prior because this is the newest Apple device.

PAPINYC

To answer the question above: ‘why release a white version at all at that point?

Apple will most likely have another model out by June/July anyway.’

Because iSheepshits will buy anything Apple, even if it means that they have to turn around two months later and buy again and, will gladly, accept a bumper as compensation for any inconvenience.

Goofan (aka Apple Hater)

That’s right! That’s why us Goosheep are smart. We buy DIFFERENT PHONES from DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS every 3 days because Google is God… We buy ANYTHING Google BECAUSE we know that money will come back to us in the fight with the evil iSheep empire!

Goofans Mom

Stop playing on your MacBook and clean up the basement like I asked you to. I swear after 43 years…

Goofan (aka Apple Hater)

Fuck off mom!

savvyray

better than falling for this one: buying the same phone every year in June with 2 or 3 new features over last years model. All those “different phones” are numerous phones that have more capability than the beloved iphone.We have choices.
3 days was a little excessive.

Carmen

Excessive means that there was an excess. So, you are saying that the amount of days (3) was excessive? Should it be two, or one day?

Scott

I know to some of you it may just be a color, but for the first time, I decided I wanted a white phone. And yes, I have been waiting this long. If I’m going to be stuck with it for 2 years, I better like it, so why not get the color I want?

If it seriously isn’t out until Spring, why even release it? The iPhone 5 will be right around the corner. Very disappointed now. In the same day I went from finally being able to reserve my phone to it being delayed, yet again.

The rating system on this site is better than any other.

BowandArrow

theres always whiteiphone4now.com

Jack Ron Paul

The new calculator icon really pops on a white iPhone

serpentor

It makes sense you wouldn’t buy the white iPhone with iPhone 5 coming out days later, but we’re talking Apple fanboys here.
